The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has introduced new regulations that allow banks and payment providers to set their own contactless card limits, provided they maintain strong fraud protections. This change comes amid rising food prices driven by factors including global conflicts, which have pushed many grocery bills beyond the traditional contactless threshold.
